We had such a wonderful experience with Masha Lou Photography for our sunset engagement shoot in DUMBO and on the Brooklyn Bridge! They were quick and thorough in their responses, and provided so many helpful tips before and during the shoot. We specifically worked with Dasha, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so comfortable. We would definitely recommend them and book with them again!Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend this place for your Engagement photos. Very professional, easy to communicate with, and cared just as much as I did. We got over 250 total photos, 10+ professionally edited, and a video. Yana was our photographer, really couldn’t have been better. Gave me meticulous detail during the lead up, shared my location, and she captured every moment perfectly. Not a paid ad, they really were a pleasure. 10/10+4Posted on Google![]()

Great experience, really professional, punctual and with a great attitude. We loved our pictures and we couldn't be happier. They were really helpful from the beginning and accompanied us during the whole process. They helped me select the place and gave several options and examples of where and how the photos would look like. Would really recommend Masha Lou to everyone that want some really good customer service and incredible photos.Posted on Google![]()

We absolutely loved working with Masha and Yana! 🤍 They photographed our proposal in New York, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were so kind, communicative, and incredibly accommodating—especially when our flights were delayed and our plans had to change multiple times. They were so flexible and made everything feel stress-free, even with all the last-minute changes! Yana took amazing photos of us in Central Park, and we are genuinely obsessed with how they turned out. She captured the moment so beautifully and naturally, and the photos are memories we will treasure forever. Masha and Yana were both so easy to work with, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of such a special moment for us. If you’re looking for photographers in New York, book them!!! We loved our experience and our photos!Posted on Google![]()

My fiancé surprised me with a photographer from Masha Lou when he proposed, and it made the whole thing even more special than I could have imagined. We had Agata, and she was so great with directing us on what to do and how to pose. So kind and so fun! I'll remember this day forever! (And not just because I have the photos)Posted on Google![]()

Frequently Asked Questions
I offer professional photography services designed to capture your family’s unique bond and create lasting memories. Services include group portraits, candid moments, and individual shots in beautiful and meaningful locations around NYC.
A standard family session lasts about 1 hour, giving us plenty of time to capture a variety of poses and moments in one or two nearby locations. If you’d like to explore more locations or include additional setups, the session can be extended to 2 or 3 hours.
My hourly rate is $450 for family photo shoots. 2+ hours are discounted $50 for each additional hour. This includes a relaxed session with optional outfit changes and a curated selection of the best photos to treasure.
Yes, we can arrange to shoot at multiple locations if they are within a reasonable distance from each other. Please note that traveling between locations may count towards the session time.
You will receive 10+ professionally edited photos depending on the package. I provide all photos from the session as well which is very uncommon in New York City. I will provide a gallery of images from which you can choose your favorites.
I recommend coordinating colors rather than matching exactly—think complementary tones or soft neutrals for a timeless feel. Avoid busy patterns or large logos, as they can distract from the focus of the photos. Layers and textures photograph beautifully, so feel free to add accessories like scarves or cardigans. Most importantly, wear something comfortable that makes you feel confident—you want your family’s connection to shine through
Preparing for your family photoshoot is simple! Start by ensuring everyone is well-rested and fed, as happy moods make for the best photos. Plan outfits ahead of time and try them on to ensure everyone feels comfortable. If your session involves kids, bring along a favorite toy or snack to keep them engaged. Think about any special items you’d like included, like a blanket for sitting shots or meaningful props. Lastly, relax and come ready to enjoy the experience—I’ll guide you through the rest
If the weather is inclement, we can reschedule to the next available date or choose an indoor location that suits your style.
Yes, basic retouching such as color correction, light blemish removal, and brightness adjustments are included. More detailed retouching can be done upon request and may incur an additional fee.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so at least 48 hours before your session to avoid a cancellation fee. The deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a rescheduled session within 3 months.
